This is a situation where I am totally trusting Xeno that the comic makes sense. I know pretty much nothing about Coldplay. This is not an indie rock thing, where I stopped liking them when they got big or something, I’ve just never liked them.
There is one thing I know about them, my wife somehow associates the band Coldplay and Spoon with one another. So when Coldplay comes on the radio, she asks “Is this Spoon?” Then I have an aneurysm. It is now comical to me, but for awhile it honestly offended me a bit because Spoon is a local band from here in Austin.
EDIT: Xeno added some links to my post. These are links to actual Coldplay material, or he is trying to Rick Roll me. Either way, click with caution.
Vladimir and Estragon
Vladimir: So I did a search for "Butterfly Balls" and it brought up all this crap about Coldplay.
Panel 2:
Vladimir and Estragon
Vladimir: I can't name my band after something that people will think is influenced by Coldplay. Any advice?
Panel 3:
Vladimir and Estragon
Estragon: “And I will try to fix you.”
Vladimir: Shut up.






Hahaha.. I always associate “Spoon” with the battle cry of The Tick.
I have that same association, but I don’t think my wife even knows who the Tick is.
Funny stuff.
